Two 13-Year Olds Try to Rob With a Fake Gun

Two boys, both 13-years old, tried to rob a 46-year-old man outside his Hollywood Avenue home. They were using a fake handgun.

The man spotted the boys looking at his motorcycle outside his home. He asked them what they were doing. Suddenly, one of them pointed a fake gun towards him and asked him what was in his pockets. He tried to grab the boy but both of them ran away.

The man did not stop; instead, he gave them a chase. He captured one of them and the police captured the other nearby.

Both were then turned over to the Youth Division and charged with first-degree attempted robbery.

The incident has prompted Police Commissioner Edmund Hartnett to schedule a press conference. He discussed the dangers and consequences of using fake guns in the conference.
